-DEBBIE-

I love you so much
sometimes realising it
totally overwhelms me.

I need you so much
sometimes being apart from you
for an hour; a day
makes me feel even more need to be near.

And yet you live your days
totally oblivious to the fact
that you are one of most amazing and important
people in my life.

You have always been there
you have always put me before yourself
and you have always tried your absolute best
to make sure i know your love.

I know your love, Debbie.
Cause everyday it continues to blow me away.

-CHRIS-

Well, my sweet.
Look how far we've come.

Through obstacles of the worst kind
shocking moments
questions with no answers
strange icq conversations
tears
hugs
borrowed CDs
owed money!
and many cellphone messages later
you discovered what kind of person i am.
And i discovered what a wonderful person you are.

They say every person you meet in your life
changes you in a way
for the better
or the worse.

And they say the important friendships
are always the most unexpected.

What a different view of life i now have.
And what strength you gave me.
Most times without even knowing you were.

"Who could ever say you're not simply wonderful?"

Chris, thanks for always being there to run to.

-MIKE-

I never thought
a guy could show me
such beauty.

I never thought
a guy could love me
and take care of me
like you do.

And i never thought
someone as incredible as you
could ever want to know
someone like me.

You just hadta prove me wrong, didn't ya, Mikey?
Typical man!

I hope i always have you in my life.
God knows what would happen if i didn't.
Always live life to the full.
Always love music like you do.
And always keep faith.
Cause life will always work out for the best.

Did you know
every week
i wait for thursday night
just to see your face.

Did you know
every time
my cellphone tells me your name
i smile with a temporary ache;
i miss your presence.

Every french class
every missed lunchtime
not having the locker next to yours..
it's all so weird; so new
so..
unwanted yet unpreventable.

Whenever i've needed you
and i've been fumbling in the dark
you've been there with light.
whenever i've felt lost
unappreciated; unloved
there was you with open arms
to give me a hug.

You never realise how much you love someone
until when you're just about to lose it
until you're thrown into different situations
without that person around to run to.

My beautiful blonde, blue-eyed angel,
You are so damn cool.
And don't let anyone ever tell you different.

It's so nice to have you around again.
Please stay.
I don't know what i'd do
if you ever left me to face the world without your smile.

My girl, my light, my angel.

I must confess
that to me it seems
that God Himself decided i needed
an angel
so he picked his most beautiful,
perfect, one
and sent her down to be my friend.

Slowly, she sat,
unravelling the wire that entraps my heart
and carefully, lovingly, removing each dagger that has pierced my hopes;
setting my dreams free to fly.

Then, as though she had not already done enough,
she gently took me in her arms
and held me until all the pain
melted away with the tears.

And yet, she still dwells down here with me,
her long arms protecting and comforting me
whenever i am aching,
her graceful hands removing my tears whenever i must cry
and her pretty face smiling
even when it hurts too much for her.

My angel standing by i hope will never leave me,
as her faith in me is what lifts me to the sky.

I can do anything
as long as i remember
i have my angel here,
my best friend,
my Tash.

-BROTHER-

You say I fascinate you
well, with you, should I even start?
You, to me, are a mystery
with only patches of knowledge
settling in my brain

yet

I feel i know you
right to your soul
and heart of gold

how you've got to know me
as well as you do
is beyond my
human comprehension.

You are
the epitome
of amazing.

I'd trust you
with my very life.

I love you.

-BROTHER #2-

I'd like to take your heart
take your soul
take your everything
and slice it open
to let the light shine out
onto your face.

a light that's helped me through the bad times
a light that's been there glowing through the good

and i would take this light
and put it in your hands
and say, "brother, my love,
this is what you are in my life.
my light."
and then i would put it back
to glow where it once did
in your heart
in your soul

in your everything.

a man who's loved me for all that i am
a man who will never understand
how much i need him.
